Mutzenbacher
Released 4 years ago in 2022. Mutzenbacher is a documentary film. directed by Ruth Beckermann.
Starring Ruth Beckermann, Alexander Diwiak, and Ben Schidla
Synopsis
An audition for men aged between 16 and 99. There are no props nor make-up, just pure improvisation. All that is required is the willingness to engage openly with the topic and language of the words on the page. No small challenge, since the text in question is the scandalous novel published anonymously in 1906 “Josefine Mutzenbacher, or the Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself” which, as this film confirms, continues to be the subject of passionate and controversial discussions about desire, even today. What might be world-class pornographic literature for some is seen by others as an abusive depiction of child sexuality.
